With a steel drum the Husky is suitable for use with both steel or synthetic ropes with the quick release free-spool lever allowing for rapid manual rope removal. The characteristics of worm and wheel back drive resistance provides the Husky with a load holding brake.

All the power and strength of the Husky is controlled through a sealed submersible S3 solid state solenoid, concealed in a relocatable protective enclosure, with forward and reverse control by a 3.6 meter remote or optional wireless radio remote.

All these features come together to make the Husky one of the toughest winches on the world market.
